thats what i thought. i dont think ill do the cai. cuz ill end up taking it out with the turbo cuz ill need the room to fit it. and i dont think theres much of an advantage to having both.

now do you have someone to put together the kit and tune it for you like a tuner shop? b/c this isn't something a novice should be doing.

i can figure out the turbo kit itself with the help of some friends who are good with cars.
but the tuning i gotta find a place around here that will do it for me.
Im still looking for it.
i know of a couple places but i need to get a hold and see if they will be able to do it.

and dont mean to sound dumb but how does cai and turbo work together.

Maximum Boost is a great book for people of all skill levels.... it's a bit technical in some areas..... but you will learn lots..... I promise.

Nick.....you are confused.... complete turbo kits have been available for about 2 years...... have you never looked at the turbo kits 360 Dynamics offered for the 1.6L ????

We still buy stuff from the guy all the time.... I dropped a couple grand this summer/fall..... the parts should arrive any day now. (clutches,manifolds,custom machined forged pistons, race quality piston pins... and more )

These kits I'm talking about are for the Corsa.... which bolts right up to the Lanos Aveo.

The big problem is the great distance the parts have to travel.... they get shipped via sea freight to decrease the horrible shipping costs.

Needless to say.... there are orders on a yearly or semi-yearly basis.

So if AveoSSTurbo wants a kit..... all he has to do is come up with the money and I will make one magicly appear.

IF you're going turbo on a Woo, then get a better ECU (standalone or SMT piggy-back). The turbo systems that use the stock ECU aren't hardly tunable and use goofy aquarium check-valves to hide boost from the ECU

Save yourself an additional 600 bucks for a megasquirt or triple that for an AEM or MoTeC... then any decent shop can tune it, and tune it right.

well i remember that tom and you could get them but i wasn't sure if they were still available. if thats the case looks like i'll be saving up for that once i get out of school.

Hey! It worked damn good for 12 months/30000 kms!

Only reason it stopped was due to a piston ring wearing a bit quicker but she was getting old already anyways

But there is a lot of power to be found from having a good tune with a piggy back/standalone ECU on a turbo Woo.

Oh yes - and Hi/Welcome by the way. Turbo Woo for the win!

I have recently installed a turbo system on my Optra (check the forced induction forum for my ongoing thread) ....... I had a CAI before that was drawing air from inside the bumper, and now there is a short pipe coming off the turbo for the intake, which is sucking air in towards where my battery is located on drivers side. The air coming in there is certainly warm, but once it passes through the intercooler, most if not all of the heat is gone, because the charge pipes after the IC are always nice and cold, even alot colder than when I just had the CAI.

yeah the only problem i see is i need to see where i can stick the intercooler.
but ill figure it out.
what intercooler did you guys use
did you have to get one custom made?

I can't remember the dimensions of mine, but its big enough for my application (check the pics lol). I know it was bought off the shelf, as most of them are. I'm sure you can find one to fit somewhere, theres so many different sizes and shapes and companies. I'd imagine it would be quite expensive to have a custom one made....

AveoSSTurbo · Post by **AveoSSTurbo** » Wed Dec 27, 2006 10:43 pm

yeah thats my guess to. im hoping i can find one thats for a honda or someother small car that could work.

Just take a quick measurement of the space behind your front bar and look on eBay - there will be plenty there!
